This makes me really miss Groklaw.<p>For the first trial, Apple v. Samsung, we had regular reports with<p><pre><code> 1. Daily trial reports on testimony and motions
2. Analysis of the patents involved
3. Descriptions of the legal issues involved and which were in dispute
4. History on the companies and technology involved
</code></pre>
But in current stories, like this better than average one from Reuters, we don't even hear about the patents involved, not their numbers, not their titles or short descriptions, and not even the total number of patents involved. We don't have a history of the litigation, the likely effects on the industry in the future, the workarounds, the simultaneous appeals before the Board of Appeals at the PTO, the issues left for appeal, the history of the judge or even her name, or any kind of context that would help us understand.<p>Our news source for the original Apple v. Samsung was great, but Apple ][ is like a black hole of information. The upcoming Apple /// will likely be the same unless there is some kind of new Groklaw someday.
